Milestone sits in a tough spot because on one hand they would love to spend the time to make every detail perfect with the physics engine and along the lines of content, but they must release a new game every year in accordance with their contract with Infront Moto Racing. It’s a new game in the sense that the riders and teams are updated to 2021 and a few other details have changed, but it’s the same in many ways to the title immediately preceding it.
Now here we are in 2021 and their eighth motocross game centered around the FIM Motocross World Championship is here with the release of MXGP 2021 on November 30. They originally broke in with their 2013 release MUD Motocross World Championship which feature official riders and tracks from MXGP for the first time in a game in nearly a decade, albeit the tracks were far from replicas.
It somehow still seems new that Milestone is even making motocross video games, but we are slowly approaching a decade of them putting a lot of time and effort into the motocross genre.
